Put the one stroke in the first adding sign, so it looks like
545 +5 then it becomes 550.
Simple

Three correct answers are possible:
Change either plus sign to a 4 by adding a small slant.
This gets 545 + 5 = 550 or 5 + 545 = 550.
Alterntaively, draw a diagonal through the equals sign to indicate that 5 + 5 + 5 DOES NOT EQUAL 550.

Is this the complete problem:
Make 5+5+5=550 true by drawing one line that cannot touch a + or =. If this is the case, then you draw one diagonal line on one of the + signs to make it either 545+5 or 5+545.

5+5+5 = 550
5+5+5 will never = to 550, it's either a typo error or it should read
545+5 = 550 or 5+545 = 550

draw one line across either plus sign to make it a 4:
545 + 5 = 550
or
5 + 545 = 550

This is a math equation that is not true.
How can it be made to be true by using only one line?
I think if you add a small line to the first + sign you can change it into a 4, transforming the equation into 545+5=550 which is a true statement.

It just doesn't.
However, 2+2=5 [1].

sounds like the kind of question my childs grade school teachers ask's the students just to see if they are paying attention. You would be surprised how many kids dont know that it DON'T = 550
